Quelques paragraphes de texte

In the 20th century, civilians became the greatest casualties of war but they were still collateral damage; in this first major war of the 21st century, the nightmare scenario is that the last vestiges of a distinction between combatant and civilian disintegrates. Every child is an unwitting participant in the battle, their dull reproachful eyes from hospital wards become Saddam's most lethal weapon.

So we sit in our armchairs confronted with painful moral ambiguities which we either ignore (it's too depressing so we switch channels) or against which we can only helplessly rail. We've done our marching, but it's made no difference, we are still morally implicated. Will our children be apologizing to the Iraqi people a generation hence? Will they ask us how we could ever have let this happen? And will our defense - we did what we could but we had families to care for, work to be done - stand up to their scrutiny?

I have never before written a column in which I so fervently wanted every one of my fears to be proved unfounded. For every word of it to be wrong.
